Our Mission
ICM Biofuels™ is committed to leading ethanol production and advancing corn biorefining through the implementation of innovative and efficient technologies that sustain agriculture, advance renewable energy, and deliver safe, high-quality products that exceed customer expectations.
Our Products
Ethanol is a renewable biofuel produced through the fermentation of corn starch. It is primarily used as a cleaner-burning alternative to gasoline, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Ethanol is a versatile fuel that supports energy independence, sustainability, and the agricultural economy by providing a market for corn.
Sustainability
Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of ICM Biofuels™ operations. From a zero-waste philosophy to sourcing corn locally to reduce transportation emissions, we maximize the value of resources while minimizing environmental impact. By leveraging innovations like efficient solid-liquid separation, heat recovery systems, and recycling initiatives, we reduce energy consumption and maintain a minimal carbon footprint. Our dedication to sustainability ensures that we continue to support agriculture and renewable energy in the most efficient and responsible ways possible.
